Regarding Rose's "recruiting is not my job" comment, it's consistent with what he said in 2010 when the Bulls were after LeBron James. But in the aftermath of 2010, when Dwyane Wade helped convince two all-stars to come to Miami, you would think Rose might approach it differently.

Rose doesn't need to beg Anthony to join the Bulls or even deliver a sales pitch. But he should be ready and available to have a conversation with Anthony when the high-scoring Knicks forward visits Chicago, which reportedly will happen Tuesday. Maybe he will.

Rose is the Bulls' highest-paid player. Helping the team get better is absolutely part of his job.

Mike McGraw has covered the Bulls since 1995, becoming the full-time beat writer in 1999. He is still haunted by memories of the 1973 Game 7 collapse against the Lakers, Rick Barry and Lionel Hollins. The passion wasn't quite the same during the championship era, but he does appreciate having a good seat at the Delta Center for Michael Jordan's final shot with the Bulls in 1998.

These days, the Stevenson High School graduate enjoys coaching youth sports and tries to incorporate principles taught by Tim Floyd, Bill Cartwright and Scott Skiles into every practice.
